Need 1800 map for a town(s)

[smurf-42]

I need help finding a map around the 1800's for an area near me. The area is Apollo, Shady Plains, Spring church area. I have been given permission to hunt an area where there were 4 to 5 house about 200 years ago and I found the town well today.

You can read more of this area and my hike today here, http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,216508.0.html

here is the 1876 Atlas of Armstrong County.

Apollo is on it But I don't see Shady Plains or Spring Church.

Perhaps if you use the Township Map

Thanks for the map link Jeff. It doesn't show the houses I am looking for. I did find a school on the map that I am not sure if it is the old school building that I passed yesterday. For some reason I can't do overlays in Google Earth on my computer. I think it has to do with my graphics card. Hopefully, I will be seeing puter guy this week and ask him about it.
